This is the second time the deadline is being pushed this year. Earlier it was pushed from November 25 to December 2 and now to December 5.

The organisation cites industry requests as the reason for the extension of deadline.

For the record, Effies 2013 has new categories this season, including Experiential Marketing and Effie for Good. Meanwhile, from Corporate Advertising, the sub category Social Cause is removed and the current nomenclature will be Corporate Advertising/Corporate Reputation.
